Medicare patients will soon save hundreds of thousands of dollars on prescription drugs thanks to Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act. This is just one of many ways we're working to lower health care costs.

Trump & MAGA Republicans' end goal is to control women's bodies and lives—and they'll stop at nothing to get there. I refuse to let that happen. RT if you're with me in the fight to restore reproductive freedom nationwide.

Unions give workers a powerful voice to demand better. Congress has got to pass the #PROAct to protect workers’ ability to join together to bargain for better working conditions. #LaborDay

Women being denied lifesaving health care is tragic and heartbreaking. But it's not happening by accident—in fact, it is only happening because of the policies of Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans.

I'm working on legislation to better support domestic violence survivors so they can seek help—so today at Mary's Place, I heard directly from providers & survivors about the challenges they face and what we can do to help survivors get the support & justice they need to heal.

Exactly—investing in families, kids, and communities is critical to building a stronger economy for everyone. That's why I fought for the Summer EBT program, to protect funding for SNAP, and so much more.

It is horrifying and gut-wrenching to hear about yet another mass shooting at a high school in America. It is simply not asking too much to demand that Republicans work with Democrats to pass commonsense gun safety laws.

I was Morgan Family YMCA to hear about the great work they do & plans for a new facility on Pearl Street I'm working to get federal funding for that will be a game-changer for the community—expanding the Y’s ability to offer healthy activities, affordable programs & classes, & more.

Had a great time learning more about Tacoma Schools' Maritime 253 Skills Center—a hub for maritime education, maritime jobs, & the maritime sector. This innovative program will help meet workforce needs in the region—& I'll keep working to secure federal dollars to support it.

MAGA Republicans put politics before science when they undermined the FDA's science-based and expert-driven approval process for medication abortion. It's dangerous—and women in Louisiana are suffering the consequences. lailluminator.com/2024/09/03/lou…

UPDATE: FDA will take action to help us better understand the issue of metals in tampons, specifically an independent review of the literature and a new lab study on the issue. Millions of women use tampons on any given day, so it’s important that we fully understand this issue

I feel pretty strongly that our next President needs to have some kind of coherent idea of how they will make child care more affordable. And—NO—tariffs are obviously not going to solve the child care crisis.

.United Indians of All Tribes Foundation does incredible work to support Seattle's urban native community. Today, I met with folks to hear about how federal grants will support their childhood health and workforce development program, learn about the redevelopment plan, and more.

I am heartbroken & angry about the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an American citizen, in the West Bank today, who was peacefully protesting against illegal settlement activity. Israel must deliver answers immediately & hold the perpetrators fully accountable. Read my full

The epidemic of gun violence is a gun problem—and Congress has got to take action. I'm talking about banning assault weapons and bump stocks, instituting universal background checks, and other commonsense gun safety legislation we know can save lives.

I constantly hear from families making impossible tradeoffs to pay for child care—parents forced to quit their jobs because they can’t find openings & child care workers struggling to make ends meet. We've got to fix our broken child care system—& I have a bill to do it.

Extreme Trump abortion bans have unleashed health care chaos across the country—including driving more and more health care providers to leave states with bans. And it's women who suffer the consequences. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/08/27/abo…

Trump and MAGA Republicans' Project 2025 lays out a plan to eliminate the Dept. of Education—get rid of it entirely. Public schools are the backbone of our country’s strength and the foundation of its future. We can’t let Trump and MAGA Republicans destroy our public schools.
